Ezekiel 33:2-6
Ezekiel 33:2
“Son of man, speak to the sons of your people and say to them, ‘If I bring a sword upon a land, and the people of the land take one man from among them and make him their watchman,
Ezekiel 33:3
and he sees the sword coming upon the land and blows the horn and warns the people,
Ezekiel 33:4
then someone who hears the sound of the horn but does not take warning, and a sword comes and takes him away, his blood will be on his own head.
Ezekiel 33:5
He heard the sound of the horn but did not take warning; his blood will be on himself. But had he taken warning, he would have saved his life.
Ezekiel 33:6
But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the horn and the people are not warned, and a sword comes and takes a person from them, he is taken away for his wrongdoing; but I will require his blood from the watchman’s hand.’
